I was already quite pissed, after knowing the truth about Abby being the one behind all of this, but I was trying to keep my calm. Because first of all, I wanted to ask her about why she did whatever she had done with me.'But I have to wait for the perfect opportunity…'I had headed towards the school with this thought in mind. But perhaps it was a sign of everything falling into place around me and things taking my side, that I ran into Abby in the morning itself, at the time I entered school.I grabbed her by her wrist as I had already noticed her quickening her speed after seeing me, and dragged her to a corner so that I could have a good chat with her before the morning bell.She started to struggle in a dramatic way, but I refused to relent and instead directed my question at her, pulling a completely emotionless face and a stern tone."Abby, tell me one thing honestly. Are you the one behind my parents and Nate knowing about my whereabouts? Just accept that you are the one who
After Abby left , I was left alone with the old memories of childhood and the realization of reality about which I was supposed to have been aware about from the very beginning. I knew that Abby's mother was originally from the Apollo pack itself, and her father used to be the beta of the previous Alpha of the Celene pack, Nate's father.During one of the Alpha's visits to the Apollo pack, her father had encountered her mother, and realized that she was his mate when they both had been teenagers. They both had gotten married and came to the Celene pack together, and they had been living a happy life until her father's untimely demise after which Abby's mother had to live with her in the Celene pack even though their life was quite difficult.Abby's mother was very beautiful and as my mother had told me often, their wedding had become the talk of the entire pack after they had returned from the Apollo pack together. Everyone knew that her husband absolutely adored her, but after he d
The last sentence that had sprawled out of Jayson's mouth hit me like a truck, and I became so worried that I wanted to rush to Paul within no time. But then again, for that too, I needed to know the exact location of his whereabouts and the detailed route to go from there. So in order to find out the routes, and hoping that Beta Jayson would be telling me the correct directions, I asked him;"Jayson, please tell me how I can reach him!? Please!"And with this request, I was about to start walking in a random direction without even waiting for his reply, when he spoke up, stopping me from taking even a single step forward."I am sorry, but I can't tell you his exact location-""Then take me there with you!" I offered the only alternative that I could at that moment."Sorry, but I can't do that either-" "You can't tell me where he is, you can't take me to him either, then you know what? I will go and find him by myself, just step out of my way.""You can't leave the Apollo pack, I w
After his statement, I panicked and noticed that Katrine had probably not heard it completely or clearly, as she was standing a little farther away from us. As a plan began to form in my head, I spoke to him in a slightly louder voice. "Jonas, I think it has been very long since the two of us have talked alone, and had a chat with each other... don't you think?" He understood my indication and what I was gesturing to, and although his expression was slightly wary, he answered in support of my proposal. "Yes ,you are right. If your friend doesn't mind, can we have some time for the two of us, and relive the same sibling dynamic once again?" Katrine finally replied with a sweet smile, "Of course! You two go ahead, till then, I will be taking a tour of your chamber by myself." Breathing a sigh of relief, the two of us stepped outside towards Jonas's room. After we reached his room, he offered me a seat and sat on the chair opposite mine. Observing and meeting my brothe
I did not dare to stop my feet until I crossed the boundary of the Crescent pack. Although my brother's intervention had saved me, I was still much too shaken up after that encounter. And just when I had crossed into the Crescent pack during the early hours of the morning, I was surrounded by guards who immediately took me into custody to inquire about my identity."Tell me, are you a rogue? What is your identity?!"The head guard demanded, followed by another one while I was trying to catch my breath and soothe the stitch in my side that I had gotten because of running without a break."Answer me, girl! Who are you?" Before I could say a single word in reply, a voice echoed from the opposite direction in a totally cool tone."She! She is the Luna of the Apollo pack."The guards immediately turned around to see who had spoken, and a few of them even dropped their hands from my arms in shock. But the moment my eyes met Paul's, it was like everything else fell away from my world.All t
Once the dinner was over, Paul and I said our goodbyes and retired to our room to rest at night. I left the bathroom after a quick shower, only to find Paul sitting on a reclining chair by the window, looking outside and probably engrossed in his thoughts. Over his knee-length shorts, he had just draped an open robe, perhaps the restricting nature of t-shirts was causing him discomfort due to the injury. His torso was fully exposed, revealing his toned abs and pecs bathed in the cool glow of the moonlight, and I found myself unable to even move or peel my eyes away from him while he was still lost in thought.My eyes then landed on his left shoulder, where a fresh bandage had been wrapped around his shoulder and chest. Without any warning, I found myself walking in his direction before I could decide what I was doing; by the time I had realised it, I was standing beside the armrest of the reclining chair and Paul had titled his head slightly to look at me in anticipation.I decided
Paul's hands came around my waist and slammed me on the bed as I squealed with surprise, before he hovered over me and removed my knickers while taking one of my nipples into his mouth. I was left gasping and moaning as he played my body like a musical instrument with his hands and mouth working magic on me. He had shown me how my own body was willing to obey his commands, and I was desperate to please him the same way. But before I could take him into my hands, I felt his erection pressing into my lower abdomen as he spoke, "Later, my Luna...for now, I must show you how an Alpha treats his lover."He placed my hands beside my head, and with his own hands pinning my wrists up, he entered me, leaving me with a sensation I had never anticipated.After making sure that I was alright and giving me a few minutes to adjust, he gently started rocking in and out of me, increasing the pace until we were a tangled mess of grunts, pants and moans. His muscular figure was covered with a thin l
The Crescent Pack got its name because it is situated in a valley of the same shape, surrounded by mountains covered in lush greenery. The doctor had prescribed a period of two weeks for Paul to rest, and he was forbidden from straining his body too much. There were a number of neighbouring woods for us to explore, and Paul and I were making good use of the time we were getting with each other. We often took hikes to nearby mountaintops, and it was absolutely lovely to witness the fog wrap up its blanket from the valley and prepare for the day as we watched the sunsets together. When we were home, I had decided to pick up and refine the skill of cooking, and Paul was very happy and vocal with the new dishes I made for us. Alpha Jack and Luna Lily used to host dinners for us almost weekly, and we became quite close in this duration. Because of his werewolf healing powers, his wound was filling up speedily, much to our delight. Within two weeks, he was cleared for training by the ph
Lexie's POV: Moonlight poured through the glass panels above us, painting silver trails across the bed. It was perfect. Just me and my new husband… only the raw, aching certainty between us, that we belonged to each other. Utterly and forever. He let me down gently, but the way his fingers tightened briefly on my waist betrayed the hunger simmering just beneath his calm. And God, I wanted that hunger. I wanted to drown in it, to be claimed by it, to leave behind every last piece of the girl I had been before him. I pushed up on shaking arms, desperate to close the space between us, even though I was still shaking. The aftershocks from the orgasm he pulled out of me with nothing but his mouth and fingers left my whole body boneless, burning, needy. My dress was bunched up around my waist, and Paul's hands were still smoothing slow, worshipful paths along my thighs, as if he couldn't stop touching me even for a second. I didn’t want him to stop. I couldn’t have him stop.
Lexie's POV: My heart was ready to burst out of my chest with happiness. The Lexie who had gotten used to being invisible at best and a monster at her worst, was still unable to believe that all these people were here to celebrate her union with her mate. Mate, the word which had once been enough to trigger all my trauma, was now the reason for this happiness. My mate, my husband, my Alpha. Paul didn’t say anything as he laced his fingers with mine, pulling me gently but firmly toward the edge of the glowing boat. I followed without a word, my heart pounding harder with every step. The guests faded into the background; the laughter, the music, the ripple of the lake, all blurred into a haze behind us. All I could feel was the heat of his hand around mine, the promise in his touch. A small rowboat was waiting at the side, lit only by the soft spill of moonlight. Paul helped me get in first, his hands skimming my waist. I sucked in a breath, suddenly extremely aware of ever
Lexie's POV: As the vows were sealed and the ceremonial howl echoed through the forest, the mist parted like a curtain, revealing a sixth boat that had been hidden partially till now. It was an oval platform, white and sparkling as it was paneled with crystal, tethered at a slight distance from the others. The lake under it was glowing faintly, with silver fireflies lighting a path across the water. Without a word, Paul took my hand, leading me toward the waiting boat. As we stepped onto it, the guests on the other boats rose in expectant silence, eyes shimmering with magic and emotion. The music began to be played on wind instruments and ancient drums, echoing across the lake like a call to something primal and sacred. Paul's hand slipped into mine as we took our place in the center, and the moment we stepped onto the floor, it was like entering another world. The crystal beneath my bare feet was cool, as if the magic of its surroundings had made it come alive. Around us,
Author's POV: The wedding was to be held at the sacred Whispering Pines– a place with and bound by the blessings of the Moon Goddess. For generations, the royals of werewolf packs had come here to wed under the gaze of the stars, and Paul, despite his preference for modernity, had chosen to honor that tradition. The Lake of Elarion stretched before them like a sheet of silver, reflecting the full moon and scattering the waves everywhere. It was said that when vows were exchanged at this place, the Moon Goddess herself was a witness to it. Five great boats were floating on the glassy surface of the lake, carved from ancient redwood. Each boat gleamed under the starlight, connected by delicate bridges woven with strands of silver and red silk thread. The largest among them was at the center, draped in pale silk and adorned with cascades of white roses. At its heart, a crescent-shaped platform glowed faintly, etched with sacred runes by the Elder wolves. Nobles and emissaries fr
Lexie felt it the moment Paul carried her across the threshold—the heat, the burn, like her blood had turned molten. It wasn’t just the remnants of whatever Damien had slipped into her drink. No, this was something different. Something deeper. Hungrier. Like her body was screaming for only one thing—and it was him.But the strangest part?The moment Paul touched her—just lightly, just enough to tug at the strap of her heel—it was like her skin remembered cool water. His fingers were a balm on her fire. Her muscles eased, her breath hitched, and for a second, her mind stopped spinning.She whimpered when he pulled away, even slightly.“Lexie,” Paul murmured again, trying to move back, trying to do the right thing. Always trying to do the right thing.But she didn’t care about right.She cared about real.And right now, he was real.She grabbed his tie again, tugged him down until their noses almost brushed. “Stop pulling away,” she whispered. “Don’t you dare pull away from me.”He hesi
Lexie's POV:The warmth from the drink surged faster than I expected, like liquid fire wrapping around my nerves. My limbs felt sluggish, and Damien’s hand slipped farther along my back, his body edging in too close, the smirk on his face tightening.“Damien… stop! Stop right now!” I whispered, trying to pull away. My voice sounded far away, and muffled. He leaned in, his lips far too close to my face. “Oh, come on! An omega like you is getting the attention of not one but TWO powerful Alphas, Don’t act like you are not enjoying this…”I recoiled. My elbow tried to rise, to shove him away, but it was no use. I felt like I was moving in slow motion, and the reality was buzzing past way too quickly for me to react in time. "Shh!”He mock-soothed, dragging me closer. "Everyone’s watching. Wouldn’t want a scene, would we now! Already, your reputation as a Luna is at stake, now who would like a fake attention seeker on top of that? Because let me tell you! Sister in law, my reputation
Lexie's POV: The gala was a dream I hadn’t dared to picture just a few weeks ago.The grand hall was bathed in golden light, the chandeliers casting a soft glow over the guests, their laughter echoing like distant music. Paul and I stood at the center, surrounded by pack members offering warm smiles, kind words, and soft apologies. Everyone seemed eager to speak to us, to me? And for the first time in what felt like forever, I didn’t flinch from the attention. I had expected the memories to sting when they brought Abby up. And they did, just a little. But I didn’t let it show. I straightened my spine, met every gaze head-on, and responded with quiet grace. I wasn’t here to shrink into shadows anymore. I had survived, and I was ready to thrive. And for that, I was ready to do anything. Paul stood by my side, his hand never once letting go of mine, his silent support wrapping around me like a shield. I was aware of every inch of him—his calming presence, his warm strength, and the
The world had gone still again. Paul carried her to the bed, cradling her against his chest while Lexie's arms stayed wrapped around his neck, her face tucked close, and he could feel the aftershocks of her release still lingering in the way her body trembled against his.He laid her down carefully, crawling in beside her and pulling the blanket over them. She immediately shifted, nestling closer until her bare skin pressed fully against his, like she was afraid he might disappear if she let go.He wrapped an arm around her waist, tucking her tight against his chest. One leg hooked around hers, and his free hand found her back, fingertips tracing soft circles there. Her fingers slid along his stomach, drawing lazy, invisible patterns. Neither of them spoke for a while, coming down from their own highs. But the silence was filled with peace. Paul pressed a kiss to the crown of her head. “You okay?” He murmured, his voice already thick with sleep. Lexie nodded against his chest, h
The stone halls of the Apollo estate were starting to brighten up as the day progressed, while Paul and Lexie walked back from the throne room. Their fingers were interlaced, and there was a lightness in her steps that hadn't been there for days. It wasn't much, but Paul noticed it. Lexie was quiet, but her silence wasn’t strained. There was a calmness in her presence now, and Paul knew why. The guilt that had weighed so heavily on her, unjust and suffocating, had finally been lifted. The punishment for Abby may not have been the harshest he could have delivered, but it had been just. More importantly, the truth had been revealed in public. Every member of the pack had seen the truth with their own eyes. That was all Lexie had wanted… to be heard and believed. The moment the door shut behind them and they entered the privacy of their chambers, Lexie turned and stepped into Paul’s chest, wrapping her arms around him tightly. Her cheek pressed against his heart, as if she nee
